Infection Control & Sterilization

UNCOMPROMISING SAFETY

We know that infection control is a top priority to you. It is a top priority for all of us too. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes that meet or exceed the standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

Our infection control measures include:

Disinfectant hand soap

Gloves

Face masks when appropriate

Chemical disinfection of countertops and surfaces

Disposable supplies

Sterilization of all equipment before every use

A team member whose sole responsibility is the safety of our patients and staff, and management of our sterilization center and equipment.

We sterilize all reusable equipment, including dental hand pieces. We use an autoclave, a device that kills bacteria and viruses by steam, heat, and pressure.

The best defense against disease is information. The more you know, the better equipped you are to make decisions about your healthcare. The more you know about our daily procedures and policies, the more comfortable you will feel.
